Green with Envy

March 22nd, 2009 by     


I found THE shoe. It was like the sky opened up and shone a ray of sunlight on them (or whatever the blog equivalent is). They are exactly what I’m looking for, but I can’t have them.

Unfortunately Nordstrom’s was unable to find this shoe for me, so I became pretty jealous of this bride.

Suddenly I find myself searching for the next best thing to this shoe, and I could use some help! I love the fact that you can search by colour on Zappos and Nordstrom’s websites, but I have yet to find the right pair.

My shoe list of ‘musts’ include a green colour, mid heel height (ceremony on grass), not too strappy, and under $200. Also, they must go with my recently purchased lace dress. Oh ya BTW I ordered a dress! Huge deal.

I want to hear from all of the colourful-shoe loving brides! Where did you find your perfect pair?

    I never realized it could be just as fun to shop for someone else! I couldn’t find your dream shoes, but here are some others I found.

    I have these shoes! (Sorry about the lack of login flower… for some reason I can’t log in this morning??) I love them. So cute. Very comfy. Great choice. What size do you wear? I’ve only worn mine once. Here’s the catch- I got mine from the childrens department. I buy a lot of my shoes from the kids department because 1. I have small feet and 2. the shoes are WAY less expensive. Have you looked in the kids department?

  4. Sunflower Bud Says:

    Ah! I can’t believe you have them! My feet are size 8…oh my I would buy them from you if they would fit!

  5. Tulip Bud Says:

    Those shoes are adorable! I love bows in shoes. Good luck with finding them. I’m wearing blue shoes and of course with bows :)

  6. Mary Says:

    Funny, I have a very similar post on my blog. I’ve received a number of suggestions if you want to check my comments. A friend of mine found that exact pair of shoes on ebay for $85 but they werent the size I need so my search continues.

  7. Sunflower Bud Says:

    Mary – that’s so funny! We’re searching for the same thing. I’ll keep you posted on what I find. Jenny – those suggestions are great! I like shopping for other people too (cheaper). Not ready to bite on any yet, still afraid of going over 2 inch heels. Keep posted for me trying some DIY ‘ribbon on shoe’ projects…

  8. Pansy Bud Says:

    I wear a 7….. you’re welcome to them if you think they’d fit!

  9. Sunflower Bud Says:

    Hi Pansy! Oh darn, if they were 7.5 I might try…but I don’t want to be tempted into squishing my foot into a shoe, so I will continue to look!

  10. Pansy Bud Says:

    TA DAAAA! I think I have a solution! http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3025861/0~2376778~6007879~6019444~6019469~6019470?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6019470&P=1 SO! These are from the kids dept. (Suprise suprise.) They’re white, I know. BUT…. they’re SO close to the same shoe… which are very comfortable let me tell you. Just have them dyed by a cobbler! I checked… you should wear a ‘big kids size’ 6 it translates to a women’s 8. Have a look at the size chart on their page. It runs pretty true…. if not a little large in the women’s favor. Hope that helps!

  11. Sunflower Bud Says:

    Pansy! I’m loving it! Am I the last person to find out that I can shop in the kid’s department? Likely. These are great! I’m going to take another look at other dye-able shoes this weekend, then hopefully I’m onto something. Do shoe dyes come in that gorgeous green do we figure?

  12. Doreen Says:

    I wanted shoes exactly like this, but the only ones I could find had a high heel or were super expensive. So, I opted for dyables. I bought this one: http://dyeablesshoes.stores.yahoo.net/dy-40339.html (“Lovely” style) and dyed it the green color above. They look fantastic and are so comfortable and cost me about $80. Local bridal shops should be able to help you out with purchasing and picking the color… I wanted something with a wider heel, too, since I’m getting married outside at a vineyard and not only are we in grass, but there are rock paths. I think these should work well for me, although you might prefer some without straps. Hope this helps!

  13. Sue Says:

    I also found myself shoe shopping for you! A few months have passed since your post,so I’m not sure if you’re still looking, but someone is selling the slingback version of the BP shoe on weddingbee.com in a size 8 for $70.

    oh wait, I just reread it and they have a 4 inch heel….. anyway check them out, they are cute!

  14. Sunflower Bud Says:

    oh i love them!! i have resolved my shoe needs with a dye-able shoe for the moment, however. I’ll post about it soon!

  15. Cat Says:

    Oh! I am also desperatly looking for green shoes. It’s being so hard! Let me know if you found yours already or you are still looking :)

  16. Sunflower Blossom Says:

    Cat – I ended up dying white shoes! I blogged about it here: http://www.bridalbuds.com/2009/04/my-perfect-shoe-right-under-my-nose/, and here is the final product: http://www.bridalbuds.com/2009/07/green-shoes-check/

  17. Jo Says:

    Pansy Bud, I’m also after these and I’m a size 7. If you still happen to have your pair and want to sell them on please let me know. You would make me very very happy :) Have a wonderful day!
